Clinical case: Sudden rise in returns to oestrus
A farrow-to-finish farm went from 10% to 50% of returns to oestrus, and almost 90% of them were regular.
The effect of age, interval collection and season on selected semen parameters and prediction of AI boars productivity
The possibility of planning the production level has a special importance for AI stations, and its inaccuracy should be minimized by eliminating the factors differentiating the quantity and quality of the ejaculate.
Optimal on-farm semen doses management: key points to control
Occasionally, breeders end up using semen with a suboptimal fertilizing ability due to inadequate storage conditions.
Semen Cardona opens its new center in the Philippines to consolidate its expansion plan in Asia
The Asian country is receiving exports from Semen Cardona for more than 10 years, and this investment will bring production closer, strengthen the commercial commitment and ensure greater immediacy in distribution.
Semen Cardona will distribute with BactiBag® packaging
Semen Cardona is committed to one of the most advanced innovations in state-of-the-art packaging. This is BactiBag, recently created by IMV Technologies with the help on developement by Semen Cardona.
Two commercial Type 1 PRRSV-modified live vaccines reduce seminal shedding of Type 1 PRRSV in infected boars
The results of this study provide clinical information on how to reduce seminal shedding of type 1 PRRSV in boars using type 1 PRRSV-modified live vaccine.
Is PEDv spread via semen?
Enric Marco comments on the practical implications of a recent research article about PEDv excretion in semen.
A comparative study of the effects of Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens upon boar semen preserved in liquid storage
The effects of infection by E. coli were dependent of both bacterial load and storage period, whereas the effects of C. perfringens were mainly dependent on the bacterial load.
Age and seasonal-dependent variations in the biochemical composition of boar semen
Age- and seasonal-related variations affect the reproductive tract functions in the boar.
Fusion of boar sperm with nanoliposomes prepared from synthetic phospholipids
This study used flow cytometry to demonstrate stable incorporation of nanoliposomes prepared from a complex mixture of various phospholipids.
Use of heterospermic inseminations in boar fertility
Sperm motility, morphology and three seminal plasma proteins were positively associated with heterospermic boar fertility.
Control points in the preparation of semen doses: sperm concentration (2/2)
This second part on AI stud management reviews the procedure for calculating sperm concentration and the elements that affect a correct assessment.
Control points in the preparation of semen doses: temperature control and quality parameters (1/2)
The impact of semen used for post-cervical AI is 2-3 times bigger than that used to produce cervical insemination doses; therefore, preparation of the doses should follow an even stricter control program.
The dependence of the growth rate and meat content of young boars on semen parameters and conception rate
The objective of the research was to conduct semen parameter and conception rate analyses on the basis of growth rate and meat content.
